The International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education is
part of an ongoing series of biennial international conferences for top
quality research in intelligent systems and cognitive science for
educational computing applications. The conference provides opportunities
for the cross-fertilization of techniques from many fields that make up
this interdisciplinary research area, including: artificial intelligence,
computer science, cognitive and learning sciences, education, educational
technology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, linguistics,
and the many domain-specific areas for which AIED systems have been
designed and evaluated.
AIED 2009 will focus on the theme "Building Learning Systems that Care:
From Knowledge Representation to Affective Modeling". This extends an
AIED vision proposed some 20 years ago by John Self. The field has moved
a long way since then. It is now widely accepted that effective learning
environments are expected to care about both learners and tutors, and to
have a good understanding of the variety of learning contexts. The key
research question now is how to tackle the complex issues related to
building learning systems that care, ranging from representing knowledge
and context to modeling social, cognitive, metacognitive, and affective
dimensions. This requires linking theory and technology from artificial
intelligence, cognitive science, and computer science with theory and
practice from education and social science.

================
* Prof. Susanne P. Lajoie, McGill University, Canada
* Prof. Kenneth D. Forbus, Northwestern University, USA
